The Antiguan Experience

We had a wonderful Antiguan Experience
January 09, 2024
We enjoyed the Antiguan Experience. It was so awesome to be invited into a local's home. We had ample time to look around and were served some tea. We also went to other neat landmarks such as a pineapple farm. We spent the rest of our time on an uncrowded beach and enjoyed a wonderful meal.

Not Quite as Expected - Even Better!
December 29, 2023
What a great day! Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. While in transit between the planned stops he showed us much of the island - and from the way people along the way greeted him I think he knew everybody! The homestead gave us a chance to visit with its owners - delightful people in a delightful home. There wasn't a lot at the ruins of the sugar mill, although they were interesting to see. Sadly, there was not to be a stop at the pineapple farm because it had been destroyed by a recent storm, but our driver realized that we had been looking forward to that so he took us to another place where we could see pineapples and other local fruits growing. We appreciated his kindness and resourcefulness in making sure this important part of our tour could happen. Lunch at the beach was good local food - including some Antiguan pineapple - and the beach itself was quite pleasant. It was an excellent day!

Heavenly Tours - Awesome Lorenzo
December 19, 2023
We took this tour and our guide was Lorenzo from Heavenly Tours. They took us to the historic home which the family has collected as stated some items that would take you days to see and the lady is very informative. Listen well and soak in the history and see the views. The next stop was the pineapple farm which Lorenzo explained had been hit hard during Covid and this was a government controlled farm but you still saw the different growing stages and got to sample the pineapple. The last stop was a relaxing afternoon on the beach with a great lunch. Lorenzo made this trip better and even hopped into a kayak with one tourist and went on a snorkel trip with them to show them the best spots. This tour is highly recommended and if possible ask for Lorenzo.

February 27, 2023
This is the second time that we picked this resort to visit for the day from our cruise. We had such a great time last time and we decided to try it again. It was just as great as we remembered it to be. Beautiful beach, clear waters you could see colorful fish swim by. Also beach chairs and umbrellas provided in the price along with a delicious lunch. We will definitely come again.

February 18, 2023
We'd enjoyed beach time on a couple of other islands on our cruise, and were ready for some exploring. This excursion provided a unique view of the island--from the very quirky private home to the unique vista of the pineapple farm and discussion of how COVID changed lives to a beautiful uncrowded (until the catamaran came in!) beach with a tasty lunch. Nice change and very enjoyable.

A great way to get to know the island
January 26, 2023
This was a nice tour within our budget. After meeting just outside the port, we loaded up onto a bus. The visit to the hilltop home was very interesting, with some great antiquities and pretty views. The pineapple farm was a bit underwhelming because there wasn't anything there but buried pineapples and a dilapidated building. But we learned a lot about the pineapple business as well as some other local flora. The lunch on the private beach was definitely a highlight, with good local cuisine and not to crowded. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us some great history of the island as well as a fascinating peek into the current political elections.

Outstanding tour and guide who genuinely loved his home island and job! The private home tour was welcoming with beautiful gardens, exotic birds and scenery. Loved the sour sop tea sample. The local pineapple farm was not operational so nothing to see there. Beach was beautiful!! The West Indian lunch on the beach was delicious and plentiful. Warm, friendly people. The woman proprietor sang and danced for us accompanied by our guide on steel drums.. He even brought on the bus a drum to demonstrate, sing songs, etc. Fun day with lots of great memories!!

January 29, 2019
As usual when you first get off the ship and signup for an independent cruise, the situation usually can get confused really fast. However, before long we were guided to our van, introduced to the driver and soon Jacqui jumped on board. And then the FUN began. Even though you do not see a lot of different places (the pineapple farm was cancelled because they were between crops). You definitely get a feel and appreciation for Antigua. Jacqui was the driving force, but even when we spent time at the beach for our lunch and entertainment, the whole group worked together. It was a lovely day with lots of fun mixed in.

This was soon after the recent hurricanes, and there were four ships in port, but everyone we met were trying very hard to please everyone. The beach was not crowded and beautiful. The food offered was good, and we had everything we needed. It is a little walk to the rest rooms at the beach, for those with mobility problems. There was plenty of time at each stop to relax and enjoy. When we got home we were anxious to learn more about this fascinating island and it’s friendly people.

Just got back from a cruise to this port. We took this excursion and it was wonderful. It took us to places other tours were not allowed. Jacqui and Von our tour guide and driver were so personable and knew so much. Our lunch on the beach was delicious and you did have enough time to go for a swim in the Caribbean if you wanted or you could just sit out and enjoy the beach. The personal home we visited was very interesting and the hostess delightful and gracious to open her private home to us. The visit to the pineapple farm was also very informative. Recommend to everyone.

We enjoyed our tour very much. It was so nice to visit with local residents and have tea and a tour of their home. It was an intimate tour with just a few people. The tour guide was exceptional and very informative.

Jacqui and Vaughn made our day with this great tour. We learned a lot about Antigua's culture and history, were welcomed into the museum-like home of an older couple, and finished the tour with a wonderful lunch at a beautiful beach. When we accidentally left one of our cell phones in the van, Jacqui happily met with us to return the phone. Great customer service!

The tour guide, Jacquie, is very knowledgeable about the island and she shared that knowledge in an interesting and amusing way. She is also a great singer and all around lovely person. The points of interest stops were perfectly chosen and the lunch stop was a highlight. Jacquie made each of us feel special and comfortable throughout the tour, Highly recommended!

We met the tour in plenty of time and drove around the island in a shuttle with @8 others. We stopped at a private home, an older couple who've lived on the island for many years. They opened their home to us, like a museum and time capsule, with artifacts as well as their growing herbs etc. We were given snacks and had a lovely time. We also walked around a pineapple farm. We were then taken to a local beachside eatery just for lunch, which was included. It was a wonderful day with well informed guides and interesting natives.
